2024 Canada $20 Remembrance Day Fine Silver (No Tax)

Honouring those who serve and have served. Order today!

Each year on November 11, Canada pauses to honour all who serve or have served our country in times of war and peace, and the Royal Canadian Mint's annual Remembrance Day coin keeps that spirit of gratitude and remembrance alive year-round. The 2024 edition presents a stirring visual metaphor for the more than 2,300,000 who served in Canada’s military throughout its history, including the more than 118,000 who ultimately gave their lives. Its reverse shows the red-petalled flower of Remembrance in various stages of bloom, from the poppy that proudly stands tall as a symbol of those who serve or have served, to the drooping one that pays respect to our fallen—those who are gone, but whose sacrifices will not be forgotten.

Service and sacrifice, represented by red poppies.

Remembrance Day (originally Armistice Day) in Canada is observed every year on November 11, as the armistice agreement that ended the First World War came into effect at 11 a.m. on that date (“the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”) in 1918.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Anna Bucciarelli centres on the poppy, the flower of Remembrance. Backed by stylized leaves and held together by a ribbon bearing the words “CANADA” and “2024”, the three poppies are presented in various stages of bloom: representing those who serve or have served, the tallest poppy (middle) is shown in full bloom with bold red petals that symbolize strength and life; pointing downward, another selectively coloured poppy honours the fallen and signals support for those who have given so much for their country; and the third poppy, an engraved bud, symbolizes resilience, hope and renewal, even in the face of tragedy. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Steven Rosati.
